Ground Reference Maneuvers: S-turns

flight-lessons

During my lesson on Oct 28, 2017, we spent a bit of time practicing ground reference maneuvers. Click to debrief My instructor, John, and I took of from KPSM and flew north east toward York, Maine. Once we were far enough out of PSM’s class delta airspace, we started with the first ground reference maneuver: S-turns. The goal of an S-turn is to fly the aircraft so that its ground track looks like 2 opposite-but-equal half-circles, one on each side of a straight ground reference such as a roadway.
